Can this tuner play any mp3 stream for which I give it an URL? Does this radio-frontier.com DB have to be involved?

Yes, frontier has to be involved -- it is the internet portal for almost every internet tuner, whether you visit the site or not. On the Sangean after presetting a station it automatically goes through this portal. By going there and registering you can add any source on the internet as long as you knows the EXACT URL -- you can add through "my added stations". I've done this, and it's pretty easy. Even on the Magnum Dynalab 807T which is a top-of-the-line internet tuner ($4500.00!) which I also own, all internet choices have to go through the frontier portal. If you can download the Sangean user manual, see page 12 for the instructions. This is available at http://www.sangean.com/support/download_content.asp?did=119 . Good luck, and good listening!

No, I dont think it can play any mp3 stream. It looks for the channel rather than a web address.david

Suzanne, I am by no means a "techie" but I think the answer is "no". The tuner works by selecting a "station" - by location (starting with continent, then country, state, city) and by genre (rock, classical, news, jazz etc). I am unaware of any method of selecting a station or mp3 stream by inputting the URL. I hope this helps. I like the product, for my purposes, which is to listen to radio around the world, without using my PC... Let me know if I can help further.Pat

You can play MP3 files that are on your computer, but I haven't found a way to bypass radio-frontier to get to an internet source

You are liekly to have an issue with the tuner, too. It may not pick up foreign stations. Check with your intended location.

I don't know anything about a tuner. As for recording shows, Did you have an instruction booklet in with the player when you got it. The booklet should tell you what to do.

If you mean from the internet , the answer is no . You can load tunes from your iPhone or computer,into this MP3 player . It will not play all formats . The only complaint is there are no instructions .

Yes, it is just FM radio. Radio Tuner is digital and a little unusual to operate. We don't use the radio part.

You can only tune in to stations listed on Frontier Radio. I have Sirius/XM and I need a password to sign in on the internet. I haven't figured out a way to include my password in the IP address for Frontier.

The only way that could work would be is the streaming device just sends the mp3 etc. usb input or aux input. But this is just a amplifier so unless the streamer can be first setup on a computer. Then plug into usb or aux and if the music is there playing it would work. The usb handles a few formats of music.

According to the reciva radio portal forum the answer is "no" as of 7/12/08. You can listen at thecomputer but cannot stream last.fm as of that date.

Setup your V-Tuner account for the receiver. Choose the radio stations on the web, and your bookmarks automatically get updated to the receiver. If it is off, it will be instantly updated the next time you turn it on, and the tuner has access to the internet. http://yradio.vtuner.com/setupapp/yamaha/asp/AuthLogin/SignIn.asp?sLogoutType=OUTCOMPLETE&lngy=&sAuthErr=sp1&sAuth= I hope I'm answering your question, and not rambling off and annoying you. Please advise.

I know that this post is old enough that you've probably already bought it if you were going to, but it does have an FM tuner, and also internet radio. I use the latter of the two a lot and it's where you'll see better quality and a lot more listening options. The only problem with the internet radio is that the receiver does not have the option for wifi, so you'll need to have it plugged into the network via an ethernet cable to use this feature..

No, it is not. The limited selection is V-tuner, Slacker, Pandora, Music Unlimited. However, if you have a bluetooth equipped device that plays Sirius, you can stream from it to the receiver.

yes, any station carried on I Heart can be tuned. But the app itself is unnecessary, as each station is found individually..

Yes. It can play any audio coming from your device onto the set radio frequency. Pandora. iTunes. Sound Cloud. Spotify. And YouTube.
